Microformer classes are designed to strengthen and tone your body. Our 45-minute classes incorporate movements on the Lagree Microformer - which is a compact version of the Megaformer, along with free weights, kettlebells, cardio bursts and mat work. Designed for all fitness levels, this class is an effective way to enjoy all the benefits of a high-intensity workout while being gentle on your joints.
Our Microformer workouts are beyond the ordinary. They are designed to give you a satisfying muscle burn that will help build strength and tone your body. You can expect a combination of exercises on the Microformer with HIIT, Barre, TRX, Kettlebells or just your body weight. This challenging hybrid class can be dialed up or down to match your fitness levels. Book a class with us to try it out.
The Microformer is designed to add resistance to your movements through springs of varying tension. It has a moveable platform to help add more range of motion to your exercises and build strength and flexibility. At Reform Athletica, our classes can also be adapted for beginners, helping them become familiar with the Lagree Microformer and method at their pace. Our trainers can adapt classes to suit any fitness level. Alternatively, you can also opt for ladies-only classes or personal training for more privacy.

The Microformer is a compact, home-use version of the Lagree Megaformer. It’s a small, portable reformer-style machine that operates on the same spring-resistance principles as the full-size Megaformer.
Despite its smaller size, the Microformer lets you perform most of the same exercises that you would on a Megaformer. Moves on the Microformer keep your muscles under constant tension, strengthening, tightening and toning them, much like a Lagree class.
Where it differs from traditional Pilates is in how it’s used. Like the Megaformer, the Microformer supports faster transitions between exercises, keeping your heart rate up and introducing a cardio element to the workout. Exercises are performed in a slow, controlled tempo that intensifies the work, rather than speeding up for cardio as in some Pilates formats.
Traditional Pilates Reformers tend to rely more on props and may not have features like a back platform or numbered carriage for precise hand and foot placement. This creates a full-body, low-impact workout that feels more intense and dynamic than a typical Pilates session while still protecting your joints.
The Megaformer is the large Lagree machine used in studios; the Microformer is its scaled-down cousin. At first glance, the differences may be obvious: the Micro is smaller, lighter and portable. It's also easy to store around the house or even under a bed. The Mega, on the other hand, is a sturdy, studio-based machine with more attachments and a larger footprint.
Functionally, the Megaformer offers an extensive range of options for a full-body workout, with multiple weighted spring loads, long and short cables and platforms for exercises in various positions (e.g., lying on your back, side or on all fours).
With the Micro, you’ll often find it easy to use the floor to adjust intensity, adding stability challenges or making moves more accessible. And while it doesn’t have built-in cables, you can still get an effective upper body workout using your own body weight or adding props like resistance bands, dumbbells or more.
